history

Hillebrand organ behind the historic prospectus from 1740

The first church was a simple wooden church . It was replaced by a brick church in the 13th century. Remains of the earlier wooden church and the foundations of the brick church were discovered in 1976. In the Middle Ages, Timmel belonged to the Leer provost in the diocese of Münster . In the course of the Reformation , the community turned to the Lutheran creed. In 1717 the church was badly damaged by the Christmas flood and demolished in 1727. The new church, built by master builder Andreas Lampert from Tyrol, was inaugurated in 1736 after nine years of construction. The old bell tower was not replaced by today's west tower until 1850, which houses three bells, one probably from the 13th century and two more from 1968.

Building description and equipment

The rectangular, elongated one-room church made of brick has a gallery in the west and Gothic windows with colorful coats of arms and unexplained inscriptions. The originally existing east gallery was demolished when the new altar was erected in 1884. However, the old reredos from the 1640s have been preserved. The pulpit from 1695, which still came from the old church and was created by H. Vellage from Aurich, was taken over in the new building. In the church there is a memorial plaque that commemorates Jonas Eilers (born September 26, 1768, † July 23, 1778), who died at the age of nine and is said to have preached in Timmel as a child. Of the organ that Johann Friedrich Constabel built in 1740, only the prospectus of the main work remains . The new organ in the old case and the entire Rückpositiv come from Gebr. Hillebrand from 1962. Since then, the organ has 18 stops on two manuals and a pedal .
